Animals: Animal Language

Little scientific work has been done
on the "language" of animals. Partly because most animals are not
very gabby, partly because they are shy, until lately the only
available collections of animal noises have been the dubious data
supplied by bird-and-barnyard imitators.

In London recently a book was published which went a long way toward
filling the gap.* Written by Popularizer-Professor Julian Sorell
Huxley, and containing two discs (four sides) recorded by Ludwig
Koch, the book shows that a greater variety of animal sounds exists
than most scientists ever suspected.
